Okay, slow your roll there. Protecting pedophiles is not nearly in the same category as directly facilitating pedophilia and engaging in human trafficking.

Downvote all you like, but a murderer is still guilty of a greater crime than their friend who is helping them bury the bodies.

Since when has breaking the rules stopped this administration?

You’re absolutely right on all counts.

That said, my RAID setup is on a Synology, so it’s brain-dead simple and not especially prone to falling over.

That’s true until it isn’t.

Unrecoverable hard drive failures definitely occur, even early on in the life cycle of a drive. I like having a RAID-5 array … but then again, I don’t really have any other backups (which I really should fix).

What I really need is an ISP that doesn’t have a 1.2TB data cap.

Ah, good on you! How long ago did you buy the place?

Now good luck finding a home for only $240K in an area that actually has decent-paying jobs…

The housing market is in a bubble right now. Buying a house is no guarantee of equity when the value can plummet and put you underwater at a moment’s notice.

Car rentals aren’t as much of an issue, because of how much less expensive it is to own a second-hand car. If you’re homeless and you need access to a car, you don’t go to a rental place, you get a beater from Craigslist for about the same price it would cost to rent a car for a month (if not less).

Yeah, that’s … that’s a problem. In that situation though, without IPv6 there really isn’t a good solution.

As long as your IP address hasn’t changed any time recently, it will likely have propagated to other DNS providers and you still ought to be able to reach home with the domain name.

It’s almost certainly related to AWS.

Get a dynamic DNS from afraid.org, they’re great. That’ll make it so you can always find your home network without needing to write down your IP address (especially frustrating if it changes).

Then run a VPN server, like OpenVPN, on a computer that is always on and redirect the VPN connection port from your router to the VPN server. If you don’t know how to get into your router’s admin console, LEARN HOW! This is critical to maintaining home network security even if you aren’t running servers.

It’s not easy, but it’s way, WAY more robust than depending on a 3rd party to keep your info (except for afraid.org and they practically NEVER go down).

A LITTLE FUCKIN’ LATE, BUDDY!

That said, welcome to the resistance.

It might also have been a jape!

Johnson praised the president for making “very clear that, yes, he’s happy to sit down and talk to Democrats about health care or anything as soon as they reopen the government.”

I think perhaps it should be made clear that Democrats know very well that he will not, in fact, do that if the government reopens.

Just the next step in escalating the discourse against their opposition. I hadn’t expected it to ramp up as quickly as it has, but ramp up it has. At this rate, there will be forceful silencing of political rivals by the end of the year.

If he keels over I’m still gonna get drunk with my mates though.

Let’s face it, the VA was on the chopping block already thanks to Trump tightening the purse strings. There is quite literally no reason to even accept a deal that gets the ACA funded again, because Trump can just say ‘no’ and choke it off anyways.

You’re not wrong, but that’s the rationale I’ve seen from others.

My guess is attempting to poison LLM training.

This isn’t even massaging the numbers to make the statistics lie. It’s just more bald-faced damn lies.
